NFS tries to mount before network starts at boot

[Qweasda]

Hi, my NFS entry in /etc/fstab is mounted right before pcmcia is brought up to initilize the wifi eth0 interface.
How can I get the nfs to start after pcmcia?

Thanks for the reply. I did that, it didn't seem to change anything.

My guess is whatever script that starts the pcmcia services is started after nfsmount or netmount. No laptop here.

1) Check whether you use nfsmount or netmount with the rc-update show command. If you're not using any other networked file system like "coda,ncpfs,smbfs", you might as well use nfsmount which is just a bit simpler to edit.
2) Use rc-update to select one of those two scripts and make sure it is started in the default runlevel.
3) Edit e.g. your nfsmount script and add a use pcmcia directive.

This chapter of the handbook should help you understand how these scripts work together.

Thanks, I'll give that a try in the morning.
For the momemt, I just added the mount line to /etc/conf.d/local.start. Quick and easy.
